NO TILL FARMING
The science of no-till farming, compost instead of chemicals, and high impact short duration grazing are farming tools used in obtaining organic crop certification.
Cattle are for example used to weed between rows in an orchard; the dung and urine are mixed with the soil by the hooves enriching it and the cattle is then removed so the soil can recover fully.

OUR RECENT PROJECTS
ORGANIC SOLUTIONS
Organic farming is a method of crop and livestock production that involves much more than choosing not to use pesticides, fertilizers, genetically modified organisms, antibiotics and growth hormones.
MICROLIFE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS
Microlife Landbou Mikrobes – Agricultural Microbes are a tool that assists the land steward in achieving sustainable and productive.
EFFECTIVE MICROORGANISMS RESEARCH ORGANISATION
The breakthrough was the discovery that when microorganisms of all types are combined to a point where they are in balance with each other, plants and animals thrive just like their wild counterparts.
CROP ROTATION
Crop rotation is recommended along with other strategies such as alternating for example rows of watermelons with rows of leeks, or some spring onions amongst the brocolli. This will go a long way in preventing populations of certain types of microbes to explode creating disease conditions.
GROUND COVERING
Ground cover will keep the plants from drying out and suppress weeds, while giving the crop the opportunity to benefit from Microlife LM- AM Vegetables. An indicator of healty soil wil be the appearance of earthworms as they are not affected by Microlife LM- AM Vegetables
